What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-EBRO-2026-010 · Evidence A · P1

Referred online workers were more likely to accept an offer, submit work on time and continue than observably similar nonreferred workers, including on work performed under a different firm name without their referrers, indicating that referrals carried otherwise hidden information about worker quality and persistence.

What this does not establish

The result does not imply referrals causally improve a worker or guarantee diversity: much of the advantage is selection information, the tasks were low-wage online administrative work, and network access can exclude otherwise qualified candidates.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Monitoring by referrers had no detectable performance effect, weakening a peer-pressure explanation and favoring information and team-complementarity mechanisms.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
